Suzanne Moore on Valerie Solanas and the SCUM Manifesto from 2004. I hope that Hannibal does continue. Good on you Elvis. Russia's 'straight' flag. Fuck that. Be afraid. Be very afraid. Taylor Swift forces government u-turn on welfare spending. Kim Fowley always came across to me as a creep but this tho also bear in mind this....War in the western suburbs. FFS! A skyscraper inspired by Beyoncé. E-mail a Melbourne tree. Perfect Home. BIBA. The Ketamine connection. Excuse me, I have something in my eye. I shouldn't laugh. I left London in 1984 with twenty quid and a one way ticket to Amsterdam and ended up two years later here in Melbourne. I left because Thatcher's Britain was not the way I thought the world should be. I thought that was the worst government I would ever live under. Oh boy was I wrong! Everyday I wake up to some new idiocy, oh and this just at teatime tonight. Who are they governing for? Never ignore your loved one. Finally if you use Comic Sans you better beware...

Australia. The land of the idiot

Pluto is the name for the electronic music made by Rolo McGinty, singer and writer of the Woodentops, the Uk Indie Rock and Roll band from the 80’s who had one of the first band\club crossover hits, with ‘Why Why Why’ an original Ibiza anthem.
Much of the Bands work was composed electronically before being brought to the band to perform live.
With The Pluto Project more designed for the club floor than the live stage Rolo found much critical acclaim and a couple of albums “Pluto Rising” and “Demolition Plates” contained tracks that proved themselves worthy in the hands of Dj’s across the board.
